‘Backlash is a fascinating… important book.’ PS Cottier, Verity La
‘This is a passionate and disturbing account that should be read by those on both sides of this debate.’ Michelle Grattan
‘A terrific read… A gripping and at times disturbing tale from inside one of the most explosive political stories of recent times.’ Michael Brissenden
‘Backlash lucidly reveals the inside story of the live export drama of 2011 and leaves the reader with a real understanding of the issue and the fiercely competing interests of that extraordinary time.’ Sarah Ferguson
‘A compelling, insightful analysis of an issue that is a litmus test for who we are as a people.’ Andrew Wilkie MP
‘This important book vividly brings to life the events of 2011 and in the process reminds us all of the vital role of people power in forcing government to act to protect animals.’ Lyn White
Bidda Jones, head of science and strategy at RSPCA Australia, and Julian Davies worked in close collaboration to bring to life the continuing backlash against the 2011 suspension of the trade to Indonesia.
